Speculation has arisen regarding whether Kamala Harris might unintentionally or intentionally sabotage her own campaign due to the high workload of a presidential run. Some observers suggest that picking a controversial running mate like Pete Buttigieg could be a sign of a "sabotage pick." This theory posits that Harris may not actually desire the presidency given the intense scrutiny and effort required.

Former Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer suggests that Democrats should focus on Donald Trump's perceived weaknesses rather than his strength.

Leaked audio from a Zoom call features Democratic advisor Terry McAuliffe admitting that the campaign is perfectly happy keeping Joe Biden in his basement.
